They're redoing Tommy and Tuppence, did you know? With David Walliams and Jessica Raine. Could be interesting - though I've never seen the old version.
I'm with you on Poirot. Even though I didn't always agree with the way the scripts were written, Suchet is Poirot to an extent no one has been before.
I watched Hickson's Marple as a child, but I don't remember it well enough to make comparisons. Though I'm a bit grumpy with the modern version for completely missing the point of Edmund Swettenham in A Murder is Announced, even if they halfway made up for it by making the lesbian subtext text. (But they did THAT by deleting Bunch. You can't just delete Bunch!)
